Zorflex^® Wound Dressing is made with Activated Carbon Cloth (ACC) and is used to combat wound odor. It comes in three sizes.

Zorflex^® Wound Dressing is one of the most advanced and cost-effective wound management products in today’s healthcare market. As a sterile flexible dressing it conforms easily to the body and may be applied directly to an open wound with no tissue incompatibility.

Zorflex^® Wound Dressing can be used on a variety of wound types as a primary wound dressing for all infected and discharging venous and arterial ulcers, pressure sores, biopsy sites, exuding dermatoses, fistulae and minor burns.

As a second dressing Zorflex^® Wound Dressing can be used for the control of malodor commonly associated with fungating carcinomas and gangrene.

The wound facing material can be placed directly on the wound and due to its low adherent properties allow removal without trauma, reducing destruction of newly formed tissue.

The layer of Zorflex^® activated carbon cloth effectively adsorbs odors.

Precautions

Use sterile water or follow local guidelines to cleanse, irrigate or moisten the wound. The use of oil-based products or topical ointments or saline may reduce the effectiveness of Zorflex®. Do not reuse. If reused the performance of the product may deteriorate and cross contamination may occur.

Instructions for use

• Cleanse the wound with sterile water.
• Zorflex® will tear easily. To avoid fraying cut the dressing to shape, covering the periwound if masceration is evident.

• Without stretching the dressing, apply Zorflex® either way up to the wound surface.

• The dressing should be applied with the direction of stretch running along the limb to allow movement.

• Secure the Zorflex® dressing in place using an appropriate secondary dressing or compression therapy. Alternatively, secure with a dressingretention sheet, tape or bandage. In the case of highly exuding wounds an absorbent secondary dressing is appropriate. Zorflex® allows transfer of the exudate into the secondary dressing which should be replaced as necessary without disturbing the Zorflex® or the wound bed.

• Should the dressing dry or adhere to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing with sterile water to assist removal and avoid disruption of the healing wound.

• Zorflex® can be left on the wound for up to 7 days, or as clinically indicated. Any threads or fibers which detach from the dressing can be easily seen and removed.
